To celebrate World Environment Day, held on 5th June, Routledge has created the Climate Change Collection, a selection of top articles concerning climate change, the carbon footprint, global warming and global sustainability. These papers, which normally require a subscription to access, will be freely available until 31st July 2011.

June 3rd marked the first “African Climate Teach-In Day“, a day devoted to lectures and lessons around the issue of climate change taking place in schools and universities across the continent. The day aimed to disseminate information on climate change and its impacts, provide introductions to projects and other initiatives underway on the continent, discuss the opportunities and challenges to addressing climate change and, perhaps most importantly, to raise awareness of the need for personal engagement and action.

Kulima fully supports awareness raising around climate change issues among the youth of the African continent, recognising that in many cases, adults glean their information based on what their children are learning at school. Understanding and engagement with the issues is also a vital prerequisite for action.
